Premises Cafe in Hackney

We booked 15 children and 10 adults for my son’s birthday and they were very efficient and accommodating - food was ready at the time agreed and the staff welcomed us warmly. Really good atmosphere too.

Your place for a quality English breakfast. The quality of flavor is palpable in each bite. They use great ingredients and they know how to cook it! The place also has a fine collection of signed artists photos hanging on the wall, who came to work the studio next door. The setting is warm and stylishly homey. And the owner is an incredibly sweet Turkish woman who takes care of her clientele.

We had a high quality, absolutely delicious breakfast here. The food was beautifully prepared and we felt very comfortable. Absolute insider tip and worth a visit!

Highly recommend this cozy and amazing place in Shoreditch for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. The food is delicious and the venue has such a cool vibe with all the pictures of famous singers who have visited the cafe and the studio. But what really sets this place apart is the amazing staff who go above and beyond to make sure you're satisfied. Nural and her team were extremely friendly and nice. We loved it so much that we ended up coming back multiple times instead of having breakfast at the hotel. Thank you again, Nural! I'll definitely be visiting this place every time I'm in Shoreditch.

Such a delicious spot that we LOVE coming back to whenever we’re in London. The people that work here are some of the kindest folks you’ll ever meet. Can’t wait to return this summer!

Delicious food from the very talented chef and friendly atmosphere also , you might able to see worldwide celebrities from the UK or USA

Super friendly owners and great food!

The staff here is so nice, my friend was late for one hour so the food was already cold when she gets here, they redo the meal for us and the English breakfast was soooooo tasty!!!

Always good food, service and atmosphere.

I come here regularly. Good service is not as regular as it should be in London, but this place has the finest. Everyone always eager to help and with a smile on their face. Love this place

Premises Cafe & Bistro is the best place to come for a coffee/ breakfast/ brunch/ lunch or even, dinner in all London. The music, the coffee, the music studio, the warm staff which is all a family. All these factors combined give you the most wholesome and pleasurable experience. I am someone who really appreciates good background music and great people and here I met one of the best guys in all London, his name is Ozan and if you’re ever interested in visiting this amazing place I’ll hope you’ll be lucky enough to be served by him. He is outstanding. Tenacious, charming, caring and an exquisite professional. I am telling you, you will not regret coming here.

Really delicious Mediterranean spread for breakfast. Cool vibe on the inside with lots of catch your eye. Service was very friendly. Nice to sit outside as well but it was too chilly for us that day.

Sister Nural and brother Ali are very kind people. The food is very delicious. The atmosphere is great!

Great atmosphere with reasonably priced and tasty food!

Honestly amazing service, they went over and beyond. Quickest delivery of my meal and the chai latte was great ! Shout out to Ozzy the staff member that delivered my service - professional, friendly and the best you can get ! Highly recommended the Premises cafe. The prices are sensible as well. 👏

A brilliant cafe with delicious food and lovely owners! Couldn’t recommend it more!

Amazing cafe. My favourite in London. The service, food and general ambience are TOP QUALITY.

Such a wonderful place - a rare gem!

In a world where your local coffee shop is now owned by a private equity company, and style has been mass-manufactured into bland conformity, The Premises stands out as a bastion of culture, community, and good food. Attached to a storied recording studio of the same name, the walls are plastered with signed photos of musical legends, all thanking The Premises for their hospitality. Speaking of the food, it is excellent. I recommend their specialty spicy sausage menemen or an omelette for breakfast and for lunch, my favorite, the chicken burrito! You really can’t go wrong and the coffee is lovely as well. The true magic at The Premises Cafe are the people. A family-run business that treats you like family. As a recent transplant to the area I’m grateful to them for creating a sense of home away from home. That is the power of community. While the surrounding neighborhood is quickly gentrifying, you can trust The Premises to be a timeless institution that’ll never change, nor should it.

Enchanting vibes filled with good music, the best cafe-restaurant in the area. Every staff is attentive and friendly and every food item has been incredible. If not their menemen for breakfast, have some lamb chop and a pint for dinner

Really friendly service, great food, reasonably priced.

A warm welcome and friendly service. Had a great English breakfast. Will try their other menu items next time.

Fantastic food at fantastic value. Ozzy took great care of us, couldn’t have been more helpful. Get the mezze sharing platter and enjoy.

Baby chicken, lamb fillet and meze — are absolute must try at this place! The food is delicious!

Food and staff are amazing. My friend Sue highly recommended Premises. We had a lovely evening 😊 We will definitely be going back some time soon.

This is a lovely little place. Just had a homemade beef burger with cheese and chips. Really good burger, well seasoned, juicy, and BIG. Nice bit of salad on the burger. Nice chips too. I’d have had a beer, but I’d never have made it through the afternoon at work.

Great food. Pleasant ambience. Highly recommended.Thank you

Worth a visit after going to the flower market. Can get quite busy but they’ll let you wait for a table. Very highly quality and cheap food.

We were overcharged £50. They don't give you an itemised bill. We'd been charged for double gins - we had singles. Bill should've come to £132 and we were charged £182. And what was worse was that we were paying cash and were putting money on the table and working out how much we each owed and the waiter picked up the money and walked away. Awful, rude and they've lost repeat customers. We've been going in there years but never again. Utterly disgusted.

Coziest place with a great atmosphere and good food!

Cute and cozy place. The waiter very friendly and pleasant. Very delicious food and fast service. Highly recommended.

스무디랑 밀크쉐이크는 그냥 과일 쥬스랑 초코우윤줄.. 다 녹아있었습니다. 팬케이크는 나름 나쁘지 않았지만 그냥 평범한 수준. 무엇보다 서비스가 진짜.. 잠시 화장실 간 사이에 테이블에 남아있던 아내와 아버지를 밖에 있으라고 내쫓았더라고요. 밖이 춥고 비가 와 두 살 난 아이를 데리고 나가기 전에 유모차 위에서 옷을 다시 입히고 있었는데 유모차를 가지고 나가서 입히라고..; 전반적인 서비스에서 아주 불만족스러웠습니다.

We had such a great overall experience in this small lovely bistro on our trip to London that we even came back the next day which is highly unusual for us as we usually like to try different places. We had breakfast; 4 people, different dishes and everything was superb. And service was personal, warm, professional and friendly. Loved the music themed decor and relaxed vibe!

Had the Halloumi and Avocado salad with fresh pide bread. Have to say one of the best salads I've had in ages! Highly recommend.

Great drinks and great vibes. Excellent bloody Mary and very nice staff. Plus, all the famous people on the walls. So glad we found it and look forward to going back

This is my cafe of choice when ever I go to Columbia flower market. Outstanding breakfasts.

Amazing Turkish breakfast. I recommend the one with spicy sausage and the meze. Thank you!!

Great little eatery! Wonderful service & tasty food. A wonderful visit after the Flower market at Columbia Street on a Sunday.

Love this cafe very chilled vibes

Despite the four star review, I would come back here. I just don’t think I ordered well, and would still like to try more of the food. We ordered the fajitas and the vegetarian full English. Fajitas were good, the full English was pretty average. No part of it was particularly good, every element was just fine, a bit disappointing. Drinks were very good though, we had an iced coffee and a vanilla milkshake. The milkshake was actually great, there aren’t a lot of places that do a classic milkshake well, would definitely recommend. The service was very good, although we were given the bill the moment our plates were cleared, and before we’d finished our drinks. But I’ll chalk that up to the waiters been busy with the brunch rush. The ambience in the restaurant was great, it was lovely and busy, without being too loud or claustrophobic. Including tip, it came to just under £40 for two drinks and two mains.

Best place ever. Ozan is one of the most positive people in London. Very recommended. God bless you 🙏

Krásná malá kavárnička a bistro s příjemnou obsluhou a výbornou anglickou snídaní a kávou.

Honestly my absolute favourite cafe around. They always remember my order, are so speedy and the service is probably the best service in all of London. This cafe is my once a week treat - I work round the corner - and I genuinely look forward to it every week. Thank you!

My friends who have known the place for like 20 years, took me there one evening, and when you first glance at the menu you may not realise yet how good and fresh the food is going to be, as presentations are not fussy or posh. It is a simple looking place. Yet, once our dishes were served on our table, I realised I was in for a treat. My seabass arrived perfectly cooked, the way I like it (as I asked for no butter in mine). It was fresh, generous portions and as good as any fancy restaurant I have been to. The mixed veggies that comes with it, surpassed my expectations: delicious asparagus, broccoli, roasted carrots and perfectly tender baby potatoes. Excellent homemade bannofee pie too. Simplicity as its best. Merci. 10/10.

Случайно зашла сюда. Первый раз была в этом районе и мне надо было дождаться дочку с её практики, найти место с вай-фаем и туалетом, ну, ещё попить хорошего кофе. А оказалось, что здесь очень гостеприимные хозяева, готовят изумительно вкусно! Мы с дочкой поели и решили заходить при случае. Я рекомендую это кафе.

Awesome food. Great atmosphere. Highly recommended. I always like pancakes, and it definitely didn’t disappoint here. My friend had the Menemen and it was very good.

Simply delicious breakfast. Great service. Ordered the Menemen

Best Mezze plate I’ve ever had (and that’s saying something!)- everything was so tasty and fresh on the plate. Decent coffee as well and fast service.

Aquesta és un cafè situat al centre de Londres on pots menjar té cafès esmorzar i està molt bé el cafè és bastant llarg i costa uns quatre pounds

We are from our of town and even though we came a couple days later they remembered our drink orders. The food was all fantastic, especially the menemen.

Amazing breakfast, smoothie and coffee!!

They food served was so fresh and delicious. Loved the vibe the cafe gives.

Love this place, always visit when I'm at the market. What a place. Really warm environment, nice touches and able to fit loads of people in despite size. Staff incredibly helpful welcoming and friendly. Good value food. Got the vegetarian breakfast but would love to try the Turkish meze.

Cosy little restaurant, furnished with love. The service staff was extraordinarily friendly and obliging! We felt welcome and very comfortable. The food came quickly and was magically served! A feast for the eyes. Freshly squeezed orange juice. Need I say more? 🍊🧊 We will be happy to come back again! 🫶

Great food, good service. I can see why this is popular.

I know this is a favourite haunt of a friend of mine, so I'll try not to be too brutal. Unfortunately the table we were seated at was sticky (even after a quick wipe over), my drink was forgotten and they had to be reminded despite the fact they weren't busy and my steak was medium, not well-done as requested. Not the greatest unfortunately. In all fairness, I think we should have arrived earlier as I didn't realise they closed at 10pm, so by the time we wanted coffee, they had shut down the machine for the night. Oh well, you live and learn!

Me and a few of my lady friends came here on a whim for a light snack, and we were not disappointed. The service was phenomenal and the menu was so diverse. 10/10 experience would come back again 🫶🫶🫶

Legendary place. I love their vegetarian all day full English breakfast options(they have them with meat too)

Shout out to this great place. We had such a good time, the food is exquisit, and the people are so nice. Thanks a lot for the good time

always good!! this time carbonara and my friends took british breakfast number 1, good portions as well.

Quiet when we went - though it was early. Both the mezze and the chicken shish were standout - great flavours and textures. House red - organic - was great too. Friendly service and good value.

Good value food, really friendly service and a homely feel!

Great taste and excellent hospitality.

We always get treated so well at Premises. Food is always brilliant, and the portions are definitely not shy! Cocktails are beautiful too.

Lovely gay staff but AWFUL gluten free bread. I would recommend more effort goes into choosing gluten free bread if you’re going to offer it. It was the cheap nasty bread that went COMPLETELY soggy in my breakfast. I didn’t eat it and they didn’t even ask me how it was. It was disgusting. Guys, get some decent gluten free bread, at least learn about and sample it before you serve it to paying customers. I recommend Schar gluten free bread to avoid sogginess. For £2.50 you could have had a very happy celiac customer but instead I will never be setting foot here again.

Great atmosphere and customer service! Oz makes the best coffees!

Food limited but good. Sundays packed like a sardine tin queues outside. Signed photos of musicians and celebrities who have visited festoon the walls like a stamp collection. If you go to Colombia flower market go to this restaurant but go early.

Really lovely vibe. Popped in with a partner and was served very quickly by a friendly and attentive waiter. Chips were delicious ( tasted like roast potatoes!! ), hot and we were in n out in less than 30 mins so brilliant for either a quick bite or to eat in. Will be our Hackney spot :)

Amazing find. Great service from friendly staff and delicious Turkish speciality food. Very popular with a good atmosphere - we were fortunate to get a table for 6!

This is a great place to have an abundant delicious Turkish meal. The restaurant has a lot of personality, service is good and fast, dishes are big and tasty. Never disappoints and at affordable prices. There’s veggie options. We shared a one-person meze and the veggie burritos (not Mexican styled but Turkish).

We are travelling from Australia and popped in for some breakfast! Service was amazing, and food was delicious!! So much history I’m this establishment and we wished we lived here so we could come more often!! Highly recommend

Amazing food and service!! Better service than we receive in Australia (our home country) and such amazing history behind this establishment! The food was delicious and exactly what you need on a cold morning!! Highly recommend

Perfect experience. Food was great, fresh and hot. Staff were attentive and friendly. Will be going back. 100% recommend

Loved the fry up! The place is a gem absolutely loved it

Our first visit, we have walked past this place many times, but today we decided to give it a try. Lovely, lively atmosphere, staff were extremely warm and welcoming. Food was EXCELLENT. A little gem of a place... I am already looking forward to my next visit.

A nice place for a quick breakfast and a chat!

An iconic cafe with a music recording studio. Friendly service. Great food and drink in a unique setting. Outside seating too.

Best café in London <3 all my love

Top spot, top service, top food. Soul food. Go get involved

The best food, the best staff and the best vibe. Feels like home every time I come through 🙏

Nice place to stop & take time out.

Good morning London. The best english breakfast around. Wonderful & delicious

Good food and atmosphere. But watch out for overcharging. Receipt is handwritten and we got overcharged a around 7 quid

Súper sitio para un buen desayuno y muy agradable, buen trato...volvería sin duda

Reliability good for a belly busting English breakfast. Great quality, not greasy, polite and attentive service. The only question is how many hours exercise must be done to work it off.

Best British Breakfast at a great price. Well done!

Consistently good food last night at Premises Cafe . I’ve been here loads of times. Seabass fillet, lamb kofte and a delicious slab of chocolate cake to share to finish. We did also order spicy prawns as a starter but it was devoured before a picture was taken. Service was friendly and great value.

Great quality and delicious food

Probably the best or one of the best cafes I've tried in 16 years in London. Service was super fast and efficient, atmosphere is really good and the menu and food is really really good.

Amazing little spot. Great breakfast/ brunch options and friendly service!

Good place for English breakfast.

Such a cosy, down to earth neighbourhood spot. Lovely people & huge, great tasty menu. Breakfast hub

If you want a good and warm welcome with VERY good food and drinks, then this the place to be! If I go to London again, then The Premises will definitely be on my bucket list! Ozan is someone who understands his profession and knows what he is doing, I was not short of anything and was helped super!👌🏼

Possibly the best English breakfasts I've had! Everything was cooked to perfection and staff were very friendly. Really cosy welcoming place. Keen to return to try the evening menu.

Absolutely fantastic service and food. Well worth a visit.

Really great breakfast! The staff is super friendly! Decor and ambiance are amazing! Will definitely come back next time I’m in London ;)

I have never went to a cafe in my life where the staff cared that much about the customer. Lovely place with the nicest people.

Just had my lunch there. They were very nice. Had a veggie sausage and egg sandwich which tasted good.

We loved it here and the service is the best. Osan (sorry if we pronounced it wrong) is the best! Thank you for this amazing day!

Premises is a casual family run business in Hackney Road E2 Been frequently Visited by myself and colleagues from Work. Efficient service and offer a wide range of food and not too expensive. Serving an all day breakfast, burgers, steaks. Paninis, wraps and much more. Selection of wines and beers available. Try it, you may like it. Very informal. Enjoy!
